I was taking pictures of my daughters. A stranger thought I was exploiting them.

117. It's not "condescending," unless you happen to have found the HS agent and interviewed him.

You need to just stop making that accusation against me--it's rude and hurtful and it is not true.

There is only one side presented in that article. That is simple fact. All we know is that the HS agent asked a question, got an answer, apologized to the family and departed the area...and then the father went and tracked him down and engaged him in a conversation (and we're only hearing the father's interpretation of that conversation, because the father, "ace" reporter that he isn't, didn't get a name or a phone number/business card).

Check out how many "Asian massage parlors' there are in the Cape May area. http://www.yellowpages.com/cape-may-nj/asian-massage
It is entirely possible that at least one of them might not be, er, kosher. I'll bet if you check into a jazzy Cape May hotel, and turn to the back of their little "Welcome" magazine, you'll find advertisements for escorts showing "come hither" impossibly young girls (who are, of course, all over eighteen) and some of whom are Asian. Places like this are still operating in NJ:

and I don't think they're helping busy businessmen practice their Cantonese, either.

The HS guy asked a question. He got an answer. He APOLOGIZED. He left.

Everything that happened after that was initiated by the dad. Even though his WIFE said let it go.

I looked the guy up--he's a photographer/graphic artist who thinks both parties suck. I will be honest with you--he has the look of a guy (and we cannot help how we look) who would be central-casting perfect for the role of the sleazy guy who pretends to be a fashion photographer or a wealthy movie producer looking for new talent. I'd be worried, too, if I saw two girls being forced to hold a huggy pose for a long period of time, not knowing that dad, there, was a "professional photographer."
